The 2016 SAG Awards

Yeah, it truly is awards seasons. Can't you feel it?

Anyways, the SAG Awards are pretty much more laidback than the other awards. There was also the Critics Choice Awards but it seems like no one came. Sorry bout it.

I was looking at all the red carpet photos and I was like, damn! Nobody really cared with this event huh? Well there were a few and they were my faves.

My best dressed may not be to everyone's liking... it's January Jones in Schiaparelli. Yes! She is my best dressed. I loved it despite the fact that it made her look bulky. Who cares? That gown is a work of art. Not some body con or shift dress with embellishments. LOL.

THE YAAAAAYYYY!

 

January Jones in Schiaparelli - YAAAASSSSS!!!! Come through! I love seeing her work this dress. You go for it.

Kiernan Shipka in Erdem - Despite it's simple silhouette, I am sold. Especially since it looks timeless. I love it.

Brie Larson in Atelier Versace - I'm sure some people are hating this cause of the fabric and the tying. But I love it. It looks gorgeous. Just the right amount of sexy. I can't wait for her other dresses since she's obviously gonna sweep the awards for Best Leading Actress.

Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab - I love this. It looks like a crop top and a skirt. But it's a gown. I love how tricky it looks but Rachel pulls it off.

Alicia Vikander in Louis Vuitton - Alicia is doing Vuitton good. I love this look. It's refreshing to see this type of gown amidst all the princess gowns.

Christina Ricci in Christopher Kane - This is the perfect jumpsuit of the night for me. I love the pleats and the details on top.

Laverne Cox in Prabal Gurung- I love the color and it's ethereal look. And bitch is selling it.

Sophie Turner in Carolina Herrera - Very jaw dropping, love everything about this.

Molly Parker in Francesco  Paolo Salerno -  I don't know you and the designer, but gurl this is so good. Love the color, the fit and that cape. This is too perfect!

Kathryn Hahn in Giorgio Armani - I love this dress. Too bad it's hard to see the details. 

Sarah Hyland in J. Mendel - Love the color. Hate the shoes, I just wish she would have fun in the shoe department.

Viola Davis in Zac Posen - Annalise, love you gurl! Love the design of the gown and how it's styled. 

Claire Danes in Stella McCartney -  I love this color combo. 

Emily Robinson in Antonio Grimaldi - I don't know you and the designer but that dress is gorgeous. And it's hard to make nude that good.

Emilia Clarke in Dior - I love this pink moment. I just love it.

Ellie Kemper in Peter Pilotto - For some reason, the prints work together.

Sarah Paulson in Armani Prive - I just love Sarah so much and this gown is gorgeous. Love that top part.

Tina Fey in Prabal Gurung - Oh gosh! This looks gorgeous. Kudos to Prabal for creating 2 great looks.

Kristen Wiig in Roland Mouret - That top alone saved the whole look. It is very very business casual but I love it especially with the hair and the clutch.

Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang - If this had a mermaid's tail, I would've burn her dress. LOL. The clutch I hate. The necklace, I am quite not loving.

THE MEH- BORDERLINE HMMM...

Julianne Moore in Givenchy - Actually, I am quite torn, I might yaaay and meh but I love the color and it kinda makes her look pregnant so this will be kinda meh and sorta yaaay.

Kate Winslet in Giorgio Armani - I'm just basically bored with Kate's red carpet choices. LOL. But this dress is gorgeous and the fit. Yeah, I love a gown that's fit to perfection.

Ariel Winter in Romona Keveza - I don't know, it looks like a pageant dress right. But it's so tailored and fit well.

Helen Mirren in Jenny Packham - It's not an ugly gown but she could do so much better.

Anna Faris in Naeem Khan - That top needs more work. Like some details to make it more interesting. Too bad, I quite like it.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Monique Lhuillier - I actually quite like it but I don't know, not enough to make me yaaay!

Amy Poehler in Stella McCartney - I love it actually, it's just the hair. Why Amy? Why?

Katie Lowes in Christian Siriano - I don't know, it's like Christian didn't put much thought into the design. Gorgeous color though. I know some people will love this and I understand it.

Nicole Kidman in Gucci - Talk about laid back. It is very Bohemian which basically is Alessandro Michele's aesthetic. I don't hate the look but it's just the wrong event. 

 

Eva Longoria in Julie Macdonald - It looks like a Heidi Klum gown but I love the look of it. hehe.

Sarah Silverman in Vivienne Westwood - The gown is good but why am I not liking it????

Marisa Tomei in Zuhair Murad - If the pants were hemmed at just the right spot, this would've been in my yayyy list!

THE UGH!

Naomi Watts in Burberry - The print looks like that pretty sundress you wear on the beach and for some reason they made into a gown. And then, the hair????

 

Kate and Rooney Mara in Valentino - They look so sad. Don't they? I must say Rooney's gown I am ok with. But with the cape, it doesn't look that good. And Rooney's, I just don't like.

Queen Latifah in Michael Costello - She's covered and all but I don't like the print. It's a tropical print, am I right?

Saoirse Ronan in Michael Kors - I just hate the print. Sorry.

Kaley Cuoco in Romona Keveza - What's with that hideous nude panel?  

Priyanka Chopra in Monique Lhuillier - LOL! This gown is basically what you see in rental gowns. Those tacky gowns.

Christina Hendricks in Christian Siriano - Gurl...... next! 

Sola Bamis in Lola Wusu - Girl, go home! This is a joke. I mean, that bow in the back... why? if you remove  that, this would'e been ok. Despite the fact that fabric looks cheap.

 So, what do you think?
Who are your best dressed?

The Search for the Perfect Bag

I have a lot of generic bags. Hahaha. You know, faux leather, designer inspired bags. I have one for Mulberry Alexa, one for Proenza Schouler PS1. I have a duffle and a murse. I also have a Givenchy Parfum duffle bag which was free. I'd like to think it's my first "Designer bag" LOLZ!

Now, I am saving up for a real, legit designer bag. My criteria
1. Big size (I put a lot of things in my bag, ask anyone)
2. Durable (I'm a use and abuse when it comes to bags)
3. Lots of space (I'd like to be organized)
4. Chic and understated (No LV monograms for me)

Now, here are my top 5 and my one I WOULD HAVE TO STARVE TO AFFORD IT
1. Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Bag
- I was intrigued by the name and when I saw it, it was love at first sight. Affordable and it has a downtown chic look. Lots of pockets and lots of ways to wear it.

Price: 550 USD

2. Marc by Marc Jacobs Moto Satchel
- I super love that it can look rugged and elegant at the same time. It kinda looks like a briefcase to me. I love its unique opening with the zipper on the side and it opens up. Hehehehe

Price: 548 USD

3. Alexander Wang Eugene Satchel
- What do you expect from Alexander Wang bags? Coolness of course! And I love this Eugene satchel. I was contemplating on the Rocco but there are too many fakes and Eugene has not been replicated yet. Hehehehe. I love that it has a lot of pockets and the straps are chain with leather. PURRRRFECTTT!!!

Price: 850 USD

4. Proenza Schouler PS1 Large
- There's this ongoing battle between Mulberry Alexa and Proenza Schouler PS1 and for me PS1 wins big time. First, Mulberry has that awful back leather connector on the side where it is attached to a stud that can come off. If it does, it makes your bag look cheap. Also, PS1 has more compartments and the leather feels supple.

Price: 1995 USD

 5. Givenchy Pandora Bag

- Out of all the Givenchy bags, the Pandora is the one that struck me the most. It looks so cool and unique that I gotta have it. They now come in a box bag which has a sturdier frame but I still prefer my bags slouchy. :)

Price: from 1810 USD above

And the bag I would give an arm and leg (I'll just put the bag in my other arm LOLZ)

THE LOUIS VUITTON SC (SOFIA COPPOLA) BAG
Yaaaassss!!! The ultimate marriage of the Speedy and the Keepall in a chic way. This bag is timeless and LV has recognized that. It is still available. I love the red wine color but would go for black as well. Oh Lord!

 Price: starts at 4,295 USD

As you can see, I prefer the black ones because I don't like seeing dirt in my bag. Although for sure, I will have them restored but still.

What are your dream handbags? :)

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I'm sorry for the title of the post but I just can't help it. I'M MORE IN LOVE WITH HIM NOW!

NO!
I'M NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP!
JUST A VERY HUGE CRUSH...

ON CLEMENT CHABERNAUD!

Yes, that French model who's the face of nearly every brand, Jil Sander, Prada, Roberto Cavalli, Ferragamo, Valentino, the list goes on and on.

He's just soooo dreamy.

Unfortunately, all us Clement lovers knows that unless you met him personally, you will never hear his voice. AND I FINALLY HEARD HIM TALK! MY GOSH HIS VOICE IS EVEN SEXIER! OHHH...

JUST CHECK OUT THE CLIP BELOW!
ESPECIALLY WHEN HE SAYS "ANYONG HASEYO!" OH MY! SEXXXY!
WHEN GOD CREATED THE PERFECT MAN, HE WAS THINKING OF CLEMENT!
I NEED TO REALLY SPEAK FRENCH NOW! :))))

I GOT IT! I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!

THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE OF VOGUE US! THE THICKEST ISSUE EVER!!!!!
YES!!!! IT WAS WORTH THE COMMUTE CARRYING THAT MUCH WEIGHT!
I SWEAR, I WAS READY FOR AN INTENSE WORKOUT CARRYING THAT BUT NOT LIKE THAT!!!!

AND I'M SO EXCIIITTTTEEEEEDDDDD THAT MY CAPS LOCK JUST WON'T TURN OFF!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

PICS!

John Galliano 0001/s and Vogue Magazine... PERFECT COMBINATION!

Do they look the same? Hahaha. What a difference 5 years makes! (Vogue 2012 on your left, Vogue 2007 on your right )

Anyways, there are a lot of ads but basically the most parts are a visit to the Vogue Archives. Like past editorials, honoring the forces of the fashion industry (I'm shocked that Madonna was not there knowing that she inspired Wintour in her first Vogue cover as the editor in chief) and profiling these people.

The editorials were great but I have yet to look at it some more because none of the editorials struck me like "woah!" just like last year's issue with "Kiss Me, Kate" and "My Generation" editorials. 

Also, there's only one perfume sample ad. :((((( The reason why I'm all for physical magazines than the online ones is because I can smell those perfumes and sometimes use them! haha! The perfume is Lancome and it smells strong and good!

ANYWAYS... just off topic. I've tried Madonna's "Truth and Dare" perfume. Yeah, I didn't like it. It smelled like an old lady scent. Well makes sense because it smells like gardenia and jasmine. If you're a Filipino reading this, I'm gonna tell you "AMOY SAMPAGUITA!" I'm sure you'll get it! But the bottle has a great design. Let's wait for her second perfume, I hope it has a younger scent. Anyways, I recommend you to try before you buy. :)

Oh yeah, in case you're wondering. The purple sunglasses on top of my Vogue September 2012 issue where GaGa wears a purple Marc Jacobs dress is by John Galliano. It's John Galliano 0001/s. It's the first model and it's so far the fiercest for me! Haha. I don't have a purple Marc Jacobs sunnies that's why I opted for the Gallianos.

Anyways, ta-ta!

TGIF- THANK GOD I'M FABULOUS!!!! That's our new mantra okay?

OKAY!

Til next time. More sunnies to come! And a teaser, I'm gonna share a DIY that's sure to tickle your hands to doing it too. It's easy, cheap and UBER FIERCE! It's a sunnies DIY, AGAIN! :)))))
